Lealman, FL population, income and ZIP codes

Lealman CDP is a mid-size town in Florida, with 21,026 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #197 of 955 ranked by population — larger than 79% of them. The median age here is 41.3 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in Lealman CDP earn a median of $45,949 a year, 41.5% below the national figure of $78,538 and 33% below the $68,617 median for the 775 Florida cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 14.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Lealman CDP is valued at $175,100, 42.3% below the national figure and 43% below the $305,300 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,175 a month, 16.4% below the national figure, or roughly $14,100 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 30.7% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.8×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 62.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Lealman CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 30.7% of median income while homes cost only 3.8× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
